i have 2 plants both at about 1 meter tall. one of them turned definate male, it had balls everywhere. and because im on a deadline with the money from this crop for a holiday i didnt chop it. i took it out of my setup and left it in the games room with only a tiny bit of light for a week.

i walked in on the seventh day to find white hairs everywhere! all the balls are now spitting out white hairs and there becoming flowers! ive had a hermie before and its definatly not one.

anyone had this before or know of it? i dont think thats how its supposed too happen like that haha? thanks in regards.
 
my phone camera wont pick it up. ill wait for the lights too come on and ill get the proper camera and try.

basically ALL the balls i thought were male have now sprouted out white hairs and are flowering out into bud sites:S its really really weird. do you think that week of no light could have changed its sex?
 
I had a sativa-dominant strain(bagseed) before, and i could've swore it was a male because it sure looked lkie one with it's male-looking pre-flowers. I kept it a little longer and it turned out to be a nice female. So, I'll testify that there can be quite a bit of variation with the looks of a female's pre-flowers. They even had the little stalks on them like the males do.

No, you're not crazy.LOL
 
i moved it back in about 3 days ago. there under a 400 watt hps and it seems to be getting soooooooo many hairs everywhere. i will be very closely watching it dont worry haha. ill try get pics and ill post them in a few hours or so. thanks man!
 
OOOMMMMMGGGGG YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSS!!:D thats exactly what i have!! ball looking things with stems that have busted out into bud site type things. jawbrodt! im so glad you said that hahah. pics soon hopefully. thankyou!!
 
good thing you didnt toss it right away! I wonder how many females get killed just from pre-flowers looking odd or not spitting out pistils right away, It's probally quite a few.

damn, shes a looker, that would of really sucked if it had been a male. your 100% sure its not a hermie? the fact you said it looked/looks like they were on a stem is something ive never seen or heard of really. I'm looking forward to seeing the pics of this plant, it doesnt look like this......does it?

 
some look like that. but after the balls reach full size they bust out with hairs. and i just went and took pics and the hairs are everywhere. the balls ive ben watching are now opening into bud sites and once again have hairs. its really trippy!

another reason why i think its female not hermie is that, the very top of the buds are buds, there not seedy spaced out heads. all i can do is watch it very carefully! pics in a few minutes:)
 
heres the pics people :S you can definatly see what im talking about. the balls are opening and theres white hairs.

thats why i was gonna chop it, but them "balls" we speak of dont get hard. they end up opening out and becoming flowers with white hairs. every single one ive been watching over the past week and a bit has done that. i want jawbrodt to come back and have a look:) the plant these seeds came from were female. does that mean anything? thanks for your help everyone!!
 
Sometimes hairs will come of the male organs on a hermie. I have seen it before, it is some kind of anomaly. That is definitely a hermie.
 
If they continue to explode out into buds then you really have yourself a strange plant, but I think they will just be those little hairs here and there, and more male organs will appear, not really turning into female buds. You can try to snip 'em as they show, but that looks like a full blown hermie to me. It will probably put out more male sacs than you can keep up with. If it were stressed hermie it may quit growing male sacs if you keep cutting them off.

I hope I'm wrong for your sake! Good Luck!
 
as long as they keep opening and spitting hairs im happy. i cant get better pics:( i used my phone for them ones and our actual camera has worse quality than the phone hahah. keep leaving your comments of what you think. cheers darkdestruction420!!
